Cheteshwar Pujara showed immense concentration and skill to post his maiden Test double century as India took command of the first Test by posting a mammoth 521 for eight declared in their first inningson the second day of the Test in Motera on Friday.
The day belonged to the 24-year-old Pujara, who scored an unbeaten 206, batting close to nine hours. It was his second century in his sixth Test.
The 24-year-old Rajkot-born batsman is only the sixth Indian to hit a double century against England. He joins an elite club of Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Viswanath, Vinod Kambli and Rahul Dravid.
